ARCHITECTURAL REVAMP
Hasselt’s new, decidedly modern city hall,
nicknamed “‘T scheep” (the ship) by its inhabitants,
offers a fresh view of the city thanks to its sloping
facade sheathed in glass. An ingenious fusion of old
and new, the European Property Awards winner in
the heart of the city offers an original experience,
and has been awarded the BREEAM certificate of
excellence.

This 18,000m building is the result of a collaboration
2
between Jaspers-Eyers & Partners, UAU Collectiv
and Michel Janssen (Architectenbureau).
The reflective surface of the slanted cladding
overlooks the old police station providing a unique,
constantly moving spectacle depending on the time
of day.
On the inside, a breath-taking panoramic view of
the city sets the tone for the offices. On the outside,
the base of the building is clad in bronze while the
interior is mostly wood and felt. The key words
here are warmth and intimacy. In the same esthetic
vein, the solar panels and geothermal installation
ensure the building is almost totally autonomous
when it comes to energy consumption.
